About Kara

I'm a journalism/multimedia nerd with big ideas. Love to travel, love to see the ocean, love to ramble on my blog.

I have a B.A. in mass media with an emphasis on visual communication and design, plus eight years of professional experience in a variety of formats, in multiple positions, at home as well as abroad. During this time, I have performed every task required to successfully manage, brand and market both print and online publications, working through local advertising all the way to social media marketing.

In my work as a freelancer, my main objective has been to help small businesses set a strong foundation for growth. Many of these projects include rebranding, website design and merchandise design.

Additionally, due to my journalism background, I'm a skilled and highly competent writer and copy editor. My strongest skills include writing for a casual audience, clearly communicating creative ideas and editing according to several specific style manuals, notably AP style and Chicago style.

Because of my experience in mass media, I am intimately familiar with the importance of deadlines, no matter how tight. I'm a quick, dedicated worker, and you can count on me to follow through. I look forward to helping you realize your design and content goals.
